So here is my final article from Arsenal’s FA Cup Final Media day on Wednesday which covers the interview with Club Captain, Mikel Arteta. I have always thought him a fine example to all professional footballers and the time listening to him only reinforced my view. What a guy to be quite frank and the […]

FA Cup Final Media Day – Gunners Town Reports from Colney and Wenger Press Conference
DB’s Season Diary Special – FA Cup Final Media Day Like waiting for a bus ain’t it? You wait ages for a blog from me and then two come along in the same week. I’m just trying to pass the time, the same as you. Trying to keep my mind off of the cup final, […]
Rosicky to celebrate staying by starting v West Brom
“We want to finish on a high at the Emirates and we want our fans to go home happy, full of hope for next season. We have fought very hard to directly qualify for the Champions League and we want to get over the line and finish the job, which we couldn’t do on Wednesday […]
When you consider who could replace Wenger you may decide Arsene is still the best man for the job
Okay, I know this is supposed to be a preview for the Swansea game but, frankly, not much has happened in the last couple of days that could affect the task at hand. Swansea’s striker Gomis should make it in time to face us at the Emirates (although, as the Frenchman has missed a couple […]

Our only absentee will be Mathieu Debuchy, who has a bit of hamstring problem, poor fella. On the upside, Arteta and Oxlade may return soon if not for our visit […]

8 on the bounce for The Arsenal as Coquelin shines but Bellerin “hits his wall”
Well, that was tough, much tougher than I expected. We took the points for the eighth consecutive game without really being troubled after we scored, but found chances hard to come by to double the lead. You can see why Burnley drew with Chelsea and United and took all three points against City at Turf […]
Where does Wilshere fit in the Arsenal team? – Or does he?
My thoughts about Jack Wilshere have often been that he should be a deep-lying playmaker in the mould of Andrea Pirlo, the 2006 World Cup-winning Italian midfielder. Jack has an excellent range of passing and a decent first touch. However, he is usually deployed higher up the pitch with more offensive orders by Arsene Wenger, […]
